As long as there are 2 or more people living and co-exiting side by side, there have to be rules. Rules are a lot like manners. They are a courtesy to other people. Without rules anarchy reins.
Of course, the more people means more complex and just more rules. Dealing with numerous personalities always results in more rules or what we now call laws. To some these rules may seem restrictive but without them the alternative is much worse.
Without rules there would be chaos in the world. Imagine trying to go through an intersection with no lights or no traffic rules while driving. People would be having accidents all the time. The same with other parts of society. For a society to function there is a need for rules so everyone knows what is right or wrong.
yOU CAN GET HURT IF YOU DON'T.

No, laws are not procedural or equitable
you can comply with environmental laws while performing your job
Procedural due process deals with governmental methods and how they are used, whereas substantive due process deals with the fairness of laws.
Procedural due process
Companies are interested in diversity for a number of reasons, but a very important one is to comply with strict laws for which violations can be very expensive.
Neither procedural law or substantive law are more important than the other. All crime needs to have a known punishment (substantive) and a proper way to get to that punishment (procedural).
Comply is when you follow a rule or law or guideline that has been made. Examples: The girl seemed to always want to comply. If they did not comply, they would not be allowed to compete. The business always made sure to comply with the tax laws.
Your question is too broad. In order to answer it you would need to do a side-by-side comparison of the law codes for each state. That is not possible in this forum.
procedural rules

Procedural laws. Evidentiary laws. Conflict of Law (regarding jurisdiction) rules. But these can become substantive in that they might have a definitive bearing on the outcome.
Noncompliance with laws leads to prosecution. Simple enough.
